RealNetworks has introduced its proposed language for managing digital content rights online, eXtensible Media Commerce Language, or XMCL, which would allow creators and distributors of media such as music and movies to manage and control use of copyrighted works distributed online. The language, which is already being backed by tech giants such as IBM and Sun Microsystems, will be submitted to an Internet standards body later this year. Real plans to make the system work on the Mac, Linux, television set-top boxes and Sony's Playstation 2 later this year.

    Happy or Worried?

    Should I be happy or worried it'll be available for Mac users later?

    Please beat me some more.

    Not only will your content be regulated, but you'll be forced to watch/listen to it on the crappiest application ever to be accepted as the internet standard.

    The worst part...

    The worst part about this whole mess is that whatever "solution" ends up being adopted will have nothing to do with protecting the rights of creative workers, but will merely further enable huge corporate conglomerates to force-feed marketing drivel down their "customers'" throats and rip money straight from their wallets.

    Time to start executing CEOs.
